− | [[Minecart]]s submerged in 7/7 magma | + | [[Minecart]]s submerged in 7/7 magma will fill with magma. Minecarts full of magma can be tipped at track stop, which will pour the magma in a specified direction from the stop. Mine cart tracks can be built from the magma sea to the surface. Minecarts used for this must be [[magma-safe]]. It may also be necessary to build [[roller]]s in magma to pull the minecarts out; such rollers would also need to be magma-safe. A minecart track can be operated by dwarves or fully automatic, using powered rollers. Depending on the placement of the track stop, dangerous overflow can be prevented by making the track stop of a material that will melt/burn once the reservoir begins to overflow. |

[[Minecart#Impulse ramps|Impulse ramps]] can be used to get magma-filled carts to wherever they need to go without having to provide power to an extensive system of rollers, and will fully automate bringing magma to the surface. Since such systems require comparatively little designation and magma-safe materials, work can be begun much earlier than some other methods of bringing magma to the surface. | [[Minecart#Impulse ramps|Impulse ramps]] can be used to get magma-filled carts to wherever they need to go without having to provide power to an extensive system of rollers, and will fully automate bringing magma to the surface.

In [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=125679.msg4217863#msg4217863 one design] posted to the forums by gchristopher, a pump can provide power to the roller, making the ramp eligible for building the roller, and keeping the trench at 7 magma so the carts fill instantly. | In [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=125679.msg4217863#msg4217863 one design] posted to the forums by gchristopher, a pump can provide power to the roller, making the ramp eligible for building the roller, and keeping the trench at 7 magma so the carts fill instantly. | ||

The same design works with water, for giving you a lot of flexibility creating tall waterfalls without pump stacks, quickly and cheaply. | The same design works with water, for giving you a lot of flexibility creating tall waterfalls without pump stacks, quickly and cheaply. | ||
